AJ,

My RSD started in both knees due to a work related car accident. I was diagnosed almost 3 years into having RSD. Along with the RSD, there is damage to both knees and I have nerve damage in a part of one leg. The RSD is in both legs fully now.

Maybe I understand a bit of what you're going through, though RSD in one person is never the same as in another, no matter where it started. We each have our own experiences.

I have never had blocks but did have calcitonin, bisphosphonates (standard treatment where I live) and pain management through meds.

I am going to be 37 this year. Last year, almost 13 years into having RSD, the RSD spread to both arms. This year September it will be 14 years.

Welcome to the forum!
